Take the simplicity of 0E and S&W.
Add attribute modifiers of B/X.
Attribute checks like D20 and C&C per the class.
No skills or feats!
Add many of the classes of D20 3.5. At least 15 classes.
Cleric, Thief, Wizard, Fighter, Barbarian, Druid, Bard, Sorcerer, Assassin, Paladin, Knight, Ranger, Monk, Psionic, and Warlock.
At least 10 races.
Simple spell list at first as I have killed myself in past efforts with a "big ol spell list".
Monsters as simple as 0E and S&W. As many monsters as possible.
Old school art. Self published.
I think we're singing from the same - or at least, very similar - hymn sheet (although I wouldn't include psionics)!
ReplyDeleteI like the direction you're going, and I'd be interested in seeing more. :)
ReplyDeleteAs someone who is publishing his own Retro-Variant, it's a great experience.
Good Luck,

Thanks for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteI keep building the house and burning it down over and over.
Usually get bogged down on spells.
